6 Must-have high-end smartphones for business users
1. Samsung Galaxy S7
Samsung has made serious strides in the business space within the past few years, and now, the South Korean firm's Galaxy S7 and Edge smartphones have a number of features likely to appeal to business users.
While similar in essence to the Galaxy S6, the S7 is a polished device with a sleek design and some power packed in to support business and travel. The smartphone sports a 5.1-inch display, 12-megapixel camera, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and up to 64GB storage.
In additon, you can't forget about Samsung Knox -- a sandbox feature which can lock away your critical business apps and keep them away from the influence of any dodgy apps or malware you might accidentally download.
2. Silent Circle's Blackphone 2
A number of enterprise users value their privacy and wish to go beyond physical fingerprint scanners and PIN codes to protect it.
For the privacy-minded, you can't go much further than the Blackphone 2, the second incarnation of Silent Circle's security-based smartphone.
The smartphone runs on a custom version of the Android OS, layered with a number of security protections which help prevent data leak, malicious instals and also seizes control of what permissions third-party apps are allowed. One particular feature of note is "Spaces," which allow users to download apps but keep them sandboxed away from critical apps -- such as work email, apps and banking
3. Vaio Phone Biz
While the Android and iOS are the most popular ecosystems for smartphones and tablets, some business users may enjoy Microsoft's Surface tablet range and wish to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem for their apps.
Vaio has launched into the mobile Windows 10 space with the "Phone Biz." While an odd name, the company says the smartphone has been designed with enterprise users in mind, and, at the very least, it likely to appeal to business users with a sense of style.
The smartphone is encased in aluminum and is equipped with a 5.5-inch HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 SoC, 3GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and a 13-megapixel camera
4. BlackBerry Priv
BlackBerry's flagship smartphone, the BlackBerry Priv, is meant to represent two major concepts: privacy and privilege.
In ZDNet's review, the Android smartphone did not quite meet these expectations, but still boasts reasonable specs, decent battery life and a few good hardware security features.
The smartphone isn't for everyone, to be sure, but for business users who miss having the traditional QWERTY keyboard, BlackBerry's offering may appeal to you -- especially if you're after a large smartphone with this keyboard function for quickly typing on the move.
5. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
Apple iPhone and iPad products remain a popular choice for consumers and businesses alike thanks to their sleek design and the iOS ecosystem, and so Apple's latest flagship smartphone, the iPhone 6 Plus, deserves a spot on the list.
The smartphone sports a 5.5-inch display, up to 128GB storage, a dual-core Apple A8 processor and 1GB RAM.
Alternatively, you could hang on and see what Apple has in store later this month.
6. Google Nexus 6P
The Google Nexus 6P, the result of a partnership between Google and Huawei, has resulted in a stable smartphone with great features for the average business user.
The smartphone is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 5.7-inch AMOLED 2360 x 1440 pixel display, 3GB RAM, up to 128 GB storage, a rear 12.3-megapixel camera and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Cheaper than Samsung and Apple counterparts but still boasting decent power, the smartphone also comes with a useful fingerprint sensor for added physical security. For business users on a budget who prefer the Android ecosystem, this smartphone is a good contender.
